I don't mind staying at a place that isn't as updated as most....as long as it's CLEAN. I found TWO different types of bugs in my bed and was forced to drive back home - about 45 minutes away - to sleep in my own CLEAN bed. After showing the night time front desk attendant one of the actual bugs... More

Basic 1965 motel. Newly painted doesn't mean renovated. Great location. Wish they would have mentioned that heated pool was still closed and that town is basically shut down until June 1st for "season". Could have spent my $120 a night somewhere else. We are regular Saugatuck visitors and thought it would be nice to stay a night before heading back... More

It was recommended by a friend who always stays there.I liked the motel,the town,the staff.We had as much fun as we wanted to have.I liked the ease and accessability of the location.

My husband and I just attended a wedding in Saugatuck and we stayed at the Ship & Shore. It is a very cool, old-school motel on the water. It's not the trump towers, but it fits perfectly in Saugatuck (don't go there expecting to find big city style chain hotels). The breakfast was good and so was our view. The... More

We just returned from our vacation to Saugatuck, and while we were there we stayed at the Ship n Shore. It was truly an unexpected pleasure. When we researched Saugatuck, we found the Ship n Shore to be the most economical place downtown, so we booked it. When we got there, we found that our room had a great view... More

I had the pleasure of visiting this motel in beautiful Saugatuck, MI. It's too bad this place is run the way it is. It could be a great place to stay if new ownership/management came in and operated it like professionals. It is also very dated. I'll be staying elsewhere on my next trip to Saugatuck.

My husband and I recently had a two night stay at the Ship & Shore Motel in Saugatuck. We had a room overlooking the Kalamazoo River on the garden side. It was awesome, everything right at our fingertips. We parked the car and walked to all the shops, restaurants and attractions in town. The pool area with large hot tub... More

We stayed one night in Sept. The location, on the water and near town, is fabulous. The grounds of the hotel are clean, with nice available outdoor decks, tables and pool. The hotel itself is definitely showing its age, which can largely be ignored if focusing on the great location. Unfortunately, the female clerk at check-in was not very friendly... More

I was shocked at how long it has been since this motel has been updated! It's right out of the 60's. While is was clean, it was not worth $150 per night. They are still using the old key method which is not secure. The sliding glass door in our room didn't lock and was missing a couple vertical blinds.... More
